Yes, actually I do expect reparations (“free handouts”) and free asylum for climate refugees.
Maybe you should ask why Australia decided to wrangle Tuvalus independence instead of just making a better offer. And also, to ask yourself for whom exactly this deal is “the best option”. Not the majority of the Tuvaluan population.
So you’re conveniently ignoring the protectorate status? And the fact that Tuvalu doesn’t really have another choice? And that this is just one in a long line of “anti-China deals” Australia is forcing on its island neighbors?
Tuvalu is now obliged to let Australia oversee its foreign policy. In exchange, Australia is “generously” allowing a number of Tuvaluans per year to flee climate disaster and settle in Australia. The climate disaster that Australia as a coal giant has no interest in stopping, or better yet, compensate the island nations for instead of slowly absorbing their governments and populations
Einen eigenen Suchindex ist genau das was wir brauchen. Freue mich wenn das mal auch auf Deutschland ausgeweitet wird
What Australia is doing to Tuvalu for example is also completely unforgivable. Holding a country in a precarious situation hostage is not the lesson we should have learned after China expanded its influence in the pacific
Spannend, wie sich das Rad der Zeit dreht. Das gabs ja eigentlich schonmal in den 60ern, vielleicht sind die Veränderungen diesmal aber etwas nachhaltiger
I need context
Yo is that the same guy from your last post
The old testament is by definition also part of the christian bible lol. I get what you mean, there’s also a book called the jewish bible, but clearly that’s not what they meant
God I love social progress. Looking forward to when I can frown at how puritan the 2000-2030s were
I can’t remember the title but that’s pretty much the same plot as the first english romance novel ever written.
It “makes sense” considering the honor-shame society the story was created for. A pure, pious woman is pitted against a shameful, violent man. The central motif is the radiant woman purifying the shameful man who converts (to Christianity) and courts the woman according to social norms instead of violently raping her. This is framed as a good ending because his shame is removed.
If you value innocence over honor this is completely incomprehensible. The guilt is still there, it was never accounted for.
Edit: Oh, and Marry-your-rapist-laws were and are still more common than you might know. Even if countries that don’t have one, individual courts may still decide that way.
Well you have to wonder if at a support so high Wikimedia couldn’t skip the “fight and win” stage to earn some goodwill which might get them more favourable terms. In open confrontation, everyone loses. Takes energy away from everything else and generates a ton of bad publicity.
Ich werd alt :(((
Süper und Guter Käse klingen so hart nach 2010er Humor, da war mal “raumschiff” (als Adjektiv) Wort des Jahres
Been a while but since this post I’ve actually had to get a spare part and had no trouble, years after launch
B und H sind die einzigen die im Querformat sind und keine verdammten Menschen drauf haben, deshalb meine Favoriten

Da klingt das Echo von George Orwell mit (“Notes om Nationalism”). Schön formuliert
